The Masterplan is… Well that’s my favourite song I have ever written I think. The reason that came about was… I wrote that in… a hotel room in Japan. And again it was… you know we needed some more songs for B-sides. And I remember just sitting down with the guitar in a hotel room in Japan when it wasn’t really much happening. Sort of a quiet night, maybe really early in the morning about 4 or 5 in the morning. And I swear the things just came out. I played the intro out afterwards It’s the only song that I like every lyric on it. I like the sound of it. I like everybody’s playing on it. And then the singing is really good as well. I don’t know why Liam didn’t sing that one. I love all the lyrics on that one. I think it’s the most complete thing I ever done in the studio. And when we finished it, so it left to me and Owen to… sort of… cause we are the producers sort of like then not to make it all sound you know to turn it older than that (?) And then anyway comes to the guitar solo bit. I don’t like playing the guitar solos on tour anymore. I used to like it at first but I don’t like it anymore cause I used to play the same thing sort of over and over different melody and over. Some might sounds… different but it is the same. Owen suggested that we turn the tapes over Owen and play it backwards and play just series of random notes and then we’ll see if we could get some sort of solo out of it. We thought it was going to take hours. When we turned the tapes back over, that was it. It just all fit in complete… And I think we maybe had to take a couple of notes out. And then we spent… a couple of days on the strings and the brass and then just got the intro and you know put them on the side of it and that was it. That is everybody’s favourite song. Take the time to make some sense Of what you want to say And cast your words away upon the waves Sail them home with acquiesce On a ship of hope today And as they land upon the shore Tell them not to fear no more Say it loud and sing it proud Today And then dance if you wanna dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go All we know is that we don't know How it's gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't make us understand We're all part of a masterplan ----------guitar solo---------- Say it loud and sing it proud today I'm not saying right is wrong It's up to us to make The best of all the things that come our way 'Cause everything that's been has passed The answer's in the looking glass There's four and twenty million doors On life's endless corridor Say it loud and sing it proud And they will dance if they wanna dance Please brother take a chance You know they're gonna go which way they wanna go All we know is that we don't know ow it's gonna be Please brother let it be Life on the other hand won't make you understand We're all part of a masterplan
